Shirley North Safer Neighbourhood Team Update
We have had a busy few shifts including searching six people for drugs and giving one of these a community resolution (like a formal warning) for the cannabis found on him.
Our current cannabis hotspots seem to be Woodmere Avenue and Tower View so we are patrolling these a number of times each shift and sending people on their way.
If there are any areas that you are aware of being regularly used by cannabis smokers/other drug users, please let us know and we will make sure that we go there when we can.
Please continue to be sensible during lockdown and enjoy the rest of your weekend.
Report crime by calling 101 or in an emergency call 999.
Remember, you can also report crime online on our website: https://www.met.police.uk/
Trading Standards – Community Alert Covid-19 Fraud
A Message from Shirley North Safer Neighbourhood Team
Those of you who are staying at home and only leaving for occasional, ESSENTIAL trips out to care for those who need it, to go to the supermarket, and for key workers to go to work – well done and thank you. Think of it as being ‘safe at home’ rather than ‘stuck at home’.
HOWEVER there are still far too many people out and about when the country is supposed to be in lockdown.
Those spoken to who are not out for essential reasons can be given a £60 fine by police.
Please, please, please consider whether you really need to leave the house and only do so for the ESSENTIAL reasons specified by the government.
We all have a part to play in preventing the spread of Covid19.
Stay at home, Protect the NHS and Save lives.
We are now on Nextdoor and plan to use this for regular updates to ward members so please follow our page if you are already on Nextdoor or create an account I believe the following link should take you to our page and select Shirley North (we are still getting to grips with Nextdoor):
